Arachne (Revision 2274)

Arachne the Weaver is from the Greek Pantheon. She was once a proud weaver of fabrics but a single mistake has doomed her to this form for all time. She was so good at what she did that she boasted no god could possibly weave a better tapestry. Upon hearing this Athena, Goddess of Weavers, descended upon Arachne and challenged her to see who could weave the better tapestry. They both wove marvelous works, but even Athena could not deny that Arachne's tapestry was better than her own. Athena was outraged by this, and turned Arachne into the first spider, doomed to forever be in this form.

Arachne is one of the best junglers in the game. Her Broodlings can be placed before she engages a creep camp and they will hatch and attack first causing them to tank the damage while Arachne is free to attack without worry.

Cocoon is a skillshot. This means that if you are missing the shot to often, you will be hampering your ability to kill and likely frustrating your allies. Remember that it takes time to travel, so lead your shots if the character is moving. A better bet is to lane with someone who can stun. Someone like Neith can lock the character in place, allowing you to easy pull them to you.

Attack Speed is very potent on Arachne. Not only does it increase your damage due to more attacks, it allows you to stack more poison onto the enemy. Arachne's poison is quite powerful and can easily mop up kills that you otherwise thought had got away.

Arachne is one of the few Gods who can solo Fire Giant. Once around level 18 and with about 20% life leech, she can easily solo him. Make sure to place a broodling first as it will tank for a bit before it dies.

Arachne lays spider eggs. Enemies getting too close to the eggs cause them to hatch 2 spiders that attack the nearby enemy, slowing them and doing damage every second. Damaging the eggs causes 1 spider to hatch instead of 2.

Arachne pounces on her melee target, silencing them while doing physical damage and healing her every .5s for 3 seconds. Right clicking or being disabled (stun, fear or silence) will knock Arachne off.

Below is a list of items recommended for Arachne to use during Conquest matches. Each match is different so it is impossible to select a group of items that will work in every battle. Take the list below and modify it as you battle, catering your build to your play style and the enemies your facing.
